Laguna Beach Season 2 Episode Recaps

Here you will find summary recaps of all the episodes of Laguna Beach Season 3.

Episode 1: Since You Been Gone Recaps

It's Christmas break in Laguna Beach. Kristin has ruled the school, LC is leaving San Francisco and the drama is all around.

Before completely unpacking after his return home, Stephen rings Kristin. The two have an awkward meeting on the beach. Unfortunately for Stephen, Kristin has moved on with Matt. Bored with the conversation going nowhere, Kristin walks away.

Laguna's resident bad boy, Jason, has caused his own share of drama. He's dating Jessica, but it's not clear if he can be trusted. Kristin gives best friend Jessica a little reality check: Jason's probably cheating on her with Alex M. After all, says Kristin, it takes a heartbreaker to know one.

At Lo's Christmas party, Kristin gloats over getting a call from her new beau, Matt. This is hard for Stephen to witness, and he moves in toward Kristin to try to get her attention. She shuns him. The next night, he takes LC on a romantic dinner date. Ironically, Kristin calls. Stephen and LC get a laugh out of that and ignore Kristin's call.

Kristin and the girls party on the town in a stretch limo. True to Kristin's prediction, Jessica gets an upsetting call from Jason. Meanwhile, as the girls rock out in the limo and get silly, Stephen and LC chill out in the hot tub and get serious. No wonder Kristin warned us to expect twice the drama in Laguna Beach this time around.

Episode 2: You Can't Trust Him Recaps

With so many hotties living in Laguna Beach, one would think having a love life in Laguna would be easy. There's no telling exactly what's going on between LC and Stephen, but it is clear when they're sharing breakfast that the sometimes-more-than-friends pair stayed up until 4:00 a.m. the previous evening. Things between Kristin and Stephen seem to be officially over, leaving the chaos of their relationship to last year.

Enter Jason and Jessica, Laguna Beach's newest drama-driven couple. Alex M. has turned out to be quite an obstacle for Jessica, who is constantly told by friends Kristin and Alex H. that boyfriend Jason is unfaithful to her. Jessica denies Kristin's accusations, which Kristin says are based on her own experience with cheating. Although Jessica refuses to dump Jason without solid evidence that he's cheating, she can't help but wonder when she hears about multiple meetings between Jason and Alex M. When Alex M. and Taylor run into Jason and Talan on the beach Alex M. invites Jason to a poker party at Morgan's, but adds he should come only if it's okay with Jessica.

While getting ready to go out with the girls later that night, Jessica reveals to Kristin and Alex H. that Jason's hanging out with Cedric instead of her, only she doesn't know that "eating dinner" - as Jason says - means playing a prank on Alex M. and her friends. Meanwhile, LC divulges her thoughts on her much-improved relationship with Stephen to Lo. Could LC's and Stephen's late-night hang out mean the two are back on the more-than-friends track?

Finally, Jessica confronts Jason about the relationship warnings she's received from her friends. When she asks Jason what he talked about with Alex M. the night before, Jason is quiet, and swears on his relationship with Jessica that nothing happened between he and Alex M. But Jason admits that he very well could be forgetting all that they talked about...

Episode 3: So Hard To Say Goodbye Recaps

It's the tale of two birthdays in Laguna, and each one has more drama then the next.

First, LC is headed south of the border to Mexico with her best guy friend Dieter, and her most wanted boyfriend, Stephen. Also enjoining them is Kaitlyn. The four enjoy a b-day celebration away from the confines of Laguna Beach.

Second Kristin is busy getting ready for her own birthday party. (who knew that LC & Kristin were the same astrological sign?) She spends the day in full party prep mode and confides in her friends that she'd like to keep Taylor off the guest list.

Speaking of Taylor, Talan escorts the blond California girl on a romantic Caribbean dinner date. There he 'fesses up that he's unattached because every girl he's ever tried to get close to has failed in comparison to Taylor. And yet the next night, his flirting with Kristin at the party is obvious. Good thing Taylor wasn't there to see it.

LC has what seems like a dream date with Stephen... Well, she's entitled to one birthday wish. After a night out on the town in Mexico, she and Stephen find their way back to room 703, where Stephen puts out the " Do Not Disturb" sign.

But all good things must come to an end, and as the gang heads back to the states, LC has a hard time hiding her emotions. She knows that Stephen is headed back to San Francisco. The two exchange hugs, then as quickly as he re-entered her life, Stephen os off again. LC is left alone to make the drive home fighting the tears.

Episode 4: More Than Friends Recaps

Who says the Laguna ladies are the ones to spark all the drama? Jason and Talan find themselves in the middle of their own relationship conundrums, with Jason living up to his title of "resident heartbreaker" with Jessica and Alex M., and Talan playing the field with Kristin and Taylor.

But the girls can't let the guys hog all the drama for too long. Alex M., Taylor, and Morgan S. play a little payback prank on Talan, Jason, and Cedric by dousing their car with plastic wrap and silly string. Meanwhile, Jessica can't bring herself to believe that Jason has cheated on her, especially since a little surfing through Jason's cell phone call log turns up no evidence of infidelity. While the dueling duo is one to stay true to the relationship motto "kiss and make up" after fighting it out at dinner, it's apparent that Jason's and Jessica's relationship is more up in the air than ever. Can we say deja vu?

It seems that Talan has his own case of deja vu when he has dinner with another of his Laguna gal pals, Kristin, who has her own questions about his relationship with Taylor. Talan answers with a loud "What?" and proclaims that he doesn't "get" Taylor. "I'm the nice guy who finishes last," Talan says. But will he "finish last" when it comes to a relationship with Kristin? Maybe so, seeing as Kristin openly admits to Alex H. that she plays games when it comes to guys.

In the end, it turns out Kristin's not the only one playing relationship games. When Jason doesn't answer Jessica's two phone calls on the night they're supposed to hang out, it's clear that Jason's opted to stand Jessica up in favor of dinner with Alex M., Casey, and Cedric. Meanwhile, Taylor and Talan brawl at the beach over their on-again, off-again relationship. Taylor tells Talan to just go ahead and be with Kristin, while Talan says it isn't Kristin who's keeping him and Taylor from dating. "I don't want to crash and burn, Taylor," Talan says. Relationships crashing and burning in Laguna Beach? Sounds familiar.

Episode 5: Winter Formal Recaps

It's time for Winter Formal and that means the drama season is in full bloom. Alex M. and Taylor are pros when it comes to the tradition known as the girls-ask-guys to Winter Formal. Alex M. and Taylor have the ultimate surprise scavanger hunt planned for Talan and Jason. The only problem is their scavenger hunt leads to Jason agreeing to go to Winter Formal with Alex M., instead of his girlfriend Jessica. Kristin experiences her own share of Winter Formal stress, planning a surprise at longtime friend Ian's workplace. Meanwhile, Jessica settles for her friend Jake as a Winter Formal date. Just because she can't have Jason as her date doesn't mean she's not going to strut her stuff at the dance.

As if the clash of the cliques couldn't get any steamier, Taylor's clique and Kristin's group show up at the same manicure salon. It turns out hair extensions and acrylics are the look of this season. At the dance, Jessica confronts Jason about his whereabouts the previous evening, only to have Jason laugh off her accusations. Jessica tries to find consolation in talking to some other guys about the Jason situation, but how much consolation can a girl really get when her boyfriend's dancing with another girl nearby?

After the dance, Taylor and Alex M. stop for some post-party fast food. Meanwhile, Jason and Jessica fight it out in their limo 3:00 a.m.-style. Both are fed up with each other, but neither can let go. In another limo across town, Alex H. locks lips with her date Jeff, while Kristin and Ian maintain their good old-fashioned friendship boundaries. No post-Winter Formal kissing for Kristin this year.

The next day, Kristin and Alex H. reminisce about their last Winter Formal. Kristin finds herself nostalgic about her two-and-a-half-year past relationship with Stephen. Is it Stephen she misses, or is she just tired of not having a boyfriend? She wonders. Over at the beach, Alex M. admits to Taylor that it was awkward dancing with Jason because of Jessica; she can't deny that Jason isn't exactly on the dating market. Little does Alex M. know that at that very moment, Jason's across town admitting to Cedric that he has a thing for her ...

Episode 6: I Hate Valentine's Day Recaps

You can always count on Valentines Day to stir up some romance and heartbreak in Laguna. Stephen is back and he and Kristin are having their third Valentines Day dinner together. Alex H. and Kristin aren't positive it's a date, but Kristin thinks it probably is. A dateless LC gets a surprise visit from Lo, who brings along her boyfriend from college. LC is really happy Lo has found someone but can't help feeling a little lonely in the midst of the romance. After all, LC says, Valentines Day is just a way to make people feel worse about not having someone to share it with.

Jessica spends the day preparing for a romantic dinner at her house with Jason. Jessica goes all out, even though she is pretty sure Jason won't appreciate it at all. Tensions are high during dinner and not only does Jason not appreciate Jessica's efforts, he tells her she went too far. Meanwhile, Kristin and Steven have an equally uncomfortable Valentines Day dinner together. Kristin wants to know if Stephen has been dating and doesn't fully believe him when he says he hasn't.

The next day, Stephen stops by to surprise LC with some flowers. LC is overjoyed to see Stephen and can't believe that he doesn't have a Valentine. But while things may be heating up between Stephen and LC, things are ice cold between Jason and Jessica. Jason tells Jessica that they can't be a couple anymore. They get together to talk about their relationship and Jason apologizes to Jessica for treating her badly but says they can't be friends anymore either. A heartbroken Jessica goes to Kristin for support. Jessica is so upset since she and Jason were good friends for years before they dated. It's a terrible end to the Valentine season for Jessica, but Kristin saw it coming and thinks Jessica is better off without two-timing Jason. With all these single people in Laguna Beach, things can only get hotter.

Episode 7: Get Over Him Recaps

Jessica is seriously missing Jason. So it's the perfect time to get away from Laguna. Jessica, together with Alex and Jeff, Kristin and Talan head out to Mammoth and hit the slopes. A weekend of snowboarding is sure to help, right?

Meanwhile back in Laguna, Jason and Alex M are finally together. Jason fresh from his break-up with Jessica has asked Alex out. The two head out to a romantic dinner which the rest of the gang practices their moves out of the slopes? Which includes Kristin, Alex and Jessica picking up three cute snowboard instructors.

LC and her friend Kaitlyn have also setout to Mammoth for the weekend, but spend most of it getting cabin fever. The two do make it out of the condo to meet Talan for lunch. Talan lets it slip that Stephen took Kristin out on Valentine's Day. Not cool.

Speaking of Stephen, he flies back in to Laguna just long enough to meet up with Kristin after she returns home from snowboarding. The two share a cute lunch and plan to meet up again, this time at Stephen's college.

As for Jessica, she spent the weekend pining away for Jason, calling him on the phone and complaining about him to anyone who will listen. Alex could care less, saying: "I don't think Jason really liked her in the first place."

Episode 8: What Goes Around Recaps

Alex M. has finally gotten what she wants - Jason - all to herself. Now, if only she could make up with Alex H. and everything would be perfect! Trying to put the past behind them, Alex H. and Alex M. meet for dinner and decided that it is time for the two cliques of Laguna Beach to reunite.

Back at Kristin's house, Jessica tells Kristin the devastating news that she just found out... Jason and Alex are officially a couple. Not exactly what she wanted to hear. To make matters even worse, Jason barely even talks to her.

Later on, the entire Laguna crew meets at the beach for a night of late night bon fires, marshmallow roasting and the latest gossip. Jessica and Alex M. leave the group to discuss Jason's new relationship. Alex promises Jessica that she doesn't want to hurt her and tell her "I would never kiss him in front of you." Promises are easily broken in Laguna. Jason arrives later to the beach and Alex seems to forget about Jessica's feelings.

Trouble begins to brew, as Jason's attention begins to drift away from Alex, straight back to Jessica. At dinner with Kristin, Alex H. and Taylor, Alex M. senses a bit of deja vu, when she finds out that Jason has been hooking up with Jessica.

Alex confronts Jason about the hook-up and asks him if he still want to be with her. In true Jason fashion, he says "Yes and no."

Episode 9: Cabo, Cabo, Cabo Recaps

The Laguna guys are on their way to Cabo. Everyone can't wait to leave Laguna ...that is everyone except for Jessica. After her hookup with Jason, no one knows what to expect when Jessica and Alex both decide to go to Cabo. Will Jessica and Alex fight it out? Luckily, Jason decides not to go to Cabo.

As Kristin and Alex H. prepare to leave, they both plan on having a fun and crazy time. "What happens in Cabo, stays in Cabo" says Alex H as Kristin makes a toast to hot boys in their room at Mexico.

Once the entire crew arrives in Cabo, the tension builds between Alex M. and Jessica. Jessica spends the entire time hanging out with Emily and not Kristin and Alex H. But Jessica certainly doesn't seem to be crossing Kristin's mind... she's too busy hanging out with Talan.

Fighting erupts one night at a night club, when Alex M. spots Jessica entering the club. Emily begs her not to ruin everyone's trip, but no one can hold Alex back. The inevitable happens as the two girls caught in Jason's love triangle shout it out in a screaming match until Jessica finally gives in and apologizes. Still, this doesn't impress Alex M, as she says "You're one low chick."
